Perl from macOS base system (/usr/bin/perl) is known to be buggy
for some unknown reason.  This is expressed in various hangs when
running nginx-tests.  I saw similar reports since at least macOS
12.3.1, and this is not caused by a particular Perl version (same
version from macports works for me).  You can try Perl from homebrew
or macports collections, it should work just fine.
